Home Tweet Home Take Two

I've had some questions about how to make a larger version of Home Tweet Home, my latest Moda Bake Shop tutorial, using charm squares (5") rather than mini charm squares (2½"). If you're interested, here's some rough math to help you out.

I'd love to see what a bigger version of this quilt looks like and I may even try one myself! One reader suggested appliquéing a black circle to the larger birdhouses rather than using buttons — great idea Cheryl! Don't forget to tag me @JenDalyQuilts if you share your quilts on Instagram or Facebook!

Thank you Jen for doing all the math for us. I just have to make a larger quilt now! I might even applique some birds in a border along with the hole in the house! Maybe even a yo-yo for the opening! Love birds and applique and this is just begging for it. Thanks again! Cheryl

I love your idea, Cheryl! When I made the quilt, I was thinking of adding a wool applique bird, but thought the scale of the original was a bit small. It would definitely work with the bigger version. And I love your idea of using yo-yos for the opening!! I'd love to see a picture of your finished quilt!
